hi sorry let me re word that. do any of you have a fear that like someone online who you probably don't even know is gonna stalk you or something? not in an egotistic way, like a genuine just "wow! anyone can find me right now. and know things about me. that's... so scary!" and if so does that change how you act. i may as well js do a qotd atp but i'm curious. less so irl genuinely but more so online; are you sitting around waiting for someone to say "hey... was this you?" and it WAS?

someone ive never interacted with before stalked me cos he has a massive grudge against my bgf and i didnt change how i act on social media i was just a bit more cautious about who followed me

 I am worried hence why I keep this site and my general websurfing/doomscrolling away from my personal life. I have a persona on here, but it's just an exaggerated version of a me no one knows, except for Amelia, and Amelia has this account. She's just not interested in this.

all the fucking time, it makes my skin itch. and someone has done that to us before AND IT WAS US 😭

I've had this fear become real, actually. People have uncovered things about me by searching my usernames, nothing problematic, but things I'm slightly uncomfortable with. But I've kinda just learned to accept it, and hope that it doesn't happen too often.

it’s happened to me so it’s not so much a fear anymore as opposed to something i know happens frequently
